Performance | The Tenderness of Maggots

Sat | 1-2:30PM

Please join us for a performance of The Tenderness of Maggots, a theatrical adaptation of Comte de Lautréamont’s (1846-1870) brutal, proto-Surrealist novel Les Chants de Maldoror, re-edited and re-configured for the stage by Studio for Propositional Cinema. Performed each Saturday during the duration of the exhibition, the narrator of the text gleefully confesses his gruesome and evil acts on a glass stage behind a “curtain” of text asking: AS WE ENTER UNWANTED FUTURES: ARE VIRUSES NOT ALSO SEEKING CONNECTIONS?: DO MAGGOTS NOT ALSO HAVE MOMENTS OF TENDERNESS?: &: WHAT CAN WE BUILD IN AN AGE OF WALLS?: WHAT CAN WE DISMANTLE IN AN AGE OF EROSION?…
